Found abandoned chicks in a hospital parking lot

Wing sexing is a trait that has to be bred for and most birds aren't. Tail length in young birds tends to be random - especially in easter eggers. The chipmunk looking one is your easter egger

Oh wow. That makes sense, the chipmunk looking one is way outgoing. The other one is very reserve. Thank you!

I found these chicks in a hospital parking lot on Wednesday. We moved them to the park before deciding to take them home. I sure have learned a lot in the last three days. I’m trying to figure out what breed they may be. I think one may be a pullet and the other one a cockerel? Any idea on what breed they are?

Welcome to BYC. They are very cute. It was so good of you to rescue them!

Yes. Dura the Golden Laced Wyandotte and Pia the EE. Those are structures in the brain. My niece was having brain surgery this week which is why I was at the hospital. We decided to name them after some of the structures during her operation. They have been helping her recover as she is very excited to help them. She is 21 years old.

Me too. There was no way that I could have left them there alone. It definitely has been a deep learning curve and I have had to go to the store multiple times and have set up cameras and read a lot of articles and now joined this amazing group. It’s been a fun world of getting to join an amazing community.
